OK, Details;
I'm trying to communicate to the console ports on several Cisco switches and routers. I my computers do not have a 9pin Dconnector that will connect to a standard Cisco console cable, and the Cisco devices do not have USB.
Therefore, I purchased a Belkin USB to DB9 converter for serial connections. It's nice because I can see LEDs light up on it when it transfers data (link, TX, RX).
This has worked for a while. I'm using a home built computer using an AMD Athlon II comptuer with four USB ports comming off the motherboard. It's running XP OS.
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 3
Computer:
AMD Athlon II X3 435
Processor
2.91GHz 1.75GB of RAM
This has been working for a year or so, and right in the middle of running it just stopped working and was hung. After that, when I use the Device Manager to list the 'Ports (COM & LPT)' it now only shows COM1 and LPT1.
I get the above error message when ever I use 'Putty' software to do the serial terminal emulation.
Not sure if it was my Belkin device, Computer, or OS.
1) So I first tried rebooting the computer, with no success.
2) I tried connecting to another router with no change.
3) Next rebooted the orginal router, no change.
4) Rebooted the laptop, no change.
I searched the internet for this, and the best advice was to manually install the com port. I tried this, but it instead installed COM4 and COM5. I tried anyway, but uninstalled when done.
Putty Not Opening Serial Port Com5 Port Busy
How does the COM3 port get built? Should it always show available, or does it build the interface when a device is plugged in?
Well, I haven't messed with it over the weekend, tried again today, and now it's working when I plugged in the belkin USB to Serial DB9 connector. It recognized the device and gave a 'bong' and it appeared. Hp instant printing 4 download. Therefore I susspect that it is built when the device is plugged in, and torn down when it is disconnected. Not sure why it's now working..but now i don't trust when it may go down of back up. I'm sure there is a logical explaination, but not any help from the MS OS...as usual.
Maybe the Belkin device is flakey, but unlikely due to the number of times I unplugged and replugged...not sure.
I then grabbed a Laptop running Windows 7 and connected to it's USB port, and running putty software, and it started working.

Then, in about 5 minutes, it hung up as well, and I could not see the COM3 Port.
